Busy week before spring break!

This week was another busy one!  On Tuesday Mason had a volleyball game (another win!) and Anna had a band concert.  This one snuck up on us but it was nice to hear the music they have been working so hard on.  They ended with the song Slippery Slide Rag and if you listen to it, it will be stuck in your head!  Oh, and it rained on and off all day, and when it was raining, it was pouring!  

Wednesday was another volleyball game, and another win!  And yup, more rain!  It was very similar to Tuesday with rain on and off with heavy rain when it was raining.  The photos of Mason serving are the easiest to get since it is a set time he will hit the ball.  And then it was a trip back to the high school for Anna to play pep tunes for the 8th grades who were going to check out what the high school has to offer.  She got lucky that she plays a woodwind instrument because she was under an awing, the brass instrument players had to play in the pouring rain.  

Thursday and Friday were dry days and a little less crazy thankfully.  On Saturday during the process of swapping out sheets, Star was finding some new hiding spots!  

Today I took the kids to visit with family who was gathered to celebrate Jake's 2nd birthday (my cousin's son).  It was nice to see everyone and Olivier enjoyed having his buddy to play with...wait, Jake was happy to have his buddy Olivier to play with!  

They enjoyed the merry go round too!  

Then it was time for a piñata!  My dad climbed up the structure to help get it setup!  Always a kid at heart!  

Jake was super excited by the idea of hitting something with a stick!  

His true love was the swing though!  He got a piece of candy and ran back to the swing!  I promise he wasn't scared!

He didn't want to leave the swing but once he knew that it was cake time, that grin was all over his face!  

And as soon as cake time was over, he ran back to the swing, making sure Olivier was coming with him.  The big swing was taken so they used one of the shared swings.  Frosting face!  

Then they transferred to a shared swing with a baby swing for Jake.  He was a happy guy!

There was a spot to put a phone and Olivier got this super cute video of Jake while swinging!

While we were at the park, Matt was out for his Sunday ride and saw the lake spilling over that was so close last weekend!  This is on the west side of the road.  

And this is on the east (lake side) of the road.  So cool!

The kids are on spring break this week but there are no plans to go anywhere (sorry kids).  And yes, there is more rain coming this week, looks like it will be on Tuesday and Wednesday.
